Craig 12319 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 He needs a run with Tino behind him. Barnes (in particular) and Murphy looked a million times better with those two in the team. He still needs time. Not being written off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatty 87 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 He gets the ball and his brain has to make a decision: a) pass it out of play b) pass it to an opponent And he struggles with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9861 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 He is just a sprinter with two good feet. I’m not sure he has the intelligence to be anything other than a one dimensional counter attacker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12319 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) I’d rather we’d played him through the middle instead of Gordon. Given how flaky their defence was, particularly in the first half, I reckon he’d have terrified them. We need to be giving him a run from the start - not as an impact sub. I dare say he’d have been far more effective as RWB than Murphy as well. Edited November 25 by Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like he needs a proper run out and he will come good. Feels like something has happened to all the Swedish players. Noone can honestly say they would have seen Isak perform the way he has for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 26304 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 He’s looking a terrible buy at £50m at this stage. Still plenty of time for him to turn it around but his confidence looks shot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoHelpMeGod 241 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 At the moment, he reeks of being an Adama Traore type, but he hasn't even got the strength as an asset. Really hope he can find some form to justify his price tag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a considerably better player than we’ve seen so far and I’m prepared to give him more time. I don’t think he’s been given a fair run so far. Perhaps they’re planning to use him alongside Wissa? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9861 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 (edited) He doesn’t have the dribbling skills as Gordon. In theory he should be loving Bruno’s through balls as he is lightening quick without the ball but he doesn’t have the intelligence to make the correct runs. I think this bit can be coached/drilled into him. Edited November 26 by Holden McGroin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12520 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 I'm beginning to feel my opinion on him cement. I don't mind if a player is struggling to adjust and just needs a bit of time, but I've seen nothing from him to suggest he's the right kind of player for us. More and more I'm coming to believe he was a signing made with a mind to play him alongside Isak, rather than just a good player. I'm not fully prepared to say flop, but I've already scratched "Elanga is a FL" into my pencil case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
